Capture of Objectives, Pega PRPC v5.5 Leave a comment

DCO stands for Direct capture of Objectives. As the name suggests, it is a module in

the PRPC to capture business objectives, business requirements, actors and other

kind of information that will help in clearly stating the needs of the customer.

The reason the module was introduced was to overcome the challenges faced in

maintaining multiple versions of documents like the Business requirement

documents (BRDs), Functional Requirement documents (FRDs)…

DCO will avoid the conventional approach of merging different kinds of documents

(like the one’s mentioned above) and taking the trouble of merging them.

I will use screenshots to explain how the module works. Please note it is not a tool

and it does not implement the application for you. It is an enabling technology used

by IT, Business folks to work collaboratively over the entire lifecycle of the project.

To walk you through how requirements are captured, I will take a simple scenario-

Suppose the customer has a requirement to build a college course and enrollment

application. Currently everything is done manually, where the professor/tutor will

publish the course he/she wants to start on the college noticeboard. The students

will have to submit on a piece of paper or a form the courses they want to enroll for a

particular season. This new application is expected to smoothen this process to allow

better control on the courses, its contents with necessary approvals from the college

administration. Necessary logic such as if the number of students enrolled for a

particular course is less than 10, the course gets cancelled. A student can choose not

more than 3 courses from a particular specialization. A student should have met

certain eligibility criteria in order to be chosen for a particular course (say, he

should have got atleast B grade in the pre-requisite courses).

So the users who would interact with the new system would be -

1. Students (who will find the courses available and select the ones they want to

enroll)

2. Professor/Tutor (who can create new courses and publish them) .. They can edit

the course content

3. School Administration ( Can review the courses published and provide necessary

approvals. They can also get a visibility of how many students have enrolled for a

particular course)

Once a student gets selected for a course, he/she will receive an email confirming of

the same.

School Administration can generate reports. One such report will list down the final

selection of the students and the courses they are assigned to.

The above is a simple scenario just to illustrate the module. So let’s begin.
